    Apple (NasdaqGS: AAPL – news) has knocked Aston Martin from its title as the UK’s coolest brand, according to a survey.

    The California-based technology firm beat the car manufacturer to first place in the 11th annual CoolBrands poll.

    The survey placed YouTube second, Twitter fourth and Google (NasdaqGS: GOOG – news) fifth.

    Just under 3,000 British consumers and a panel of 39 “key influencers” – including chart acts Rizzle Kicks and Plan B – ranked a shortlist of 1,200 brands from more than 10,000 initially considered.

    The panel scored each brand for factors including innovation, originality, style, authenticity, desirability and uniqueness ahead of the public vote.

    But it’s been really tough… arriving on site to hand paint the glass the dimensions supplied were all slightly out affecting one lay out and the windows were 25mm double glazed!

    That meant the drawing we would use…
